    Having A Rough Time

    Welcome Jokuzzi, my child has effected my life in so many ways. I always maintain it would be easier if the trauma events had of directly happened to me, as opposed to, sitting by watching helplessly. So much great advice and support on the forum here, Take care

    Hey Teddy, I was up in sunny Brisvegas today, relaxing by the pool. Um, wait on, that was a dream i was having while I was sitting at the Mater Childrens Hospital all day. I was more than happy to get in my car after all of the appointments and head back down the M1 to get home.

    Yeah Deer, under doctors supervision, there's no repeats with the prescription when i was put on the 1/2 dose of the meds. This way it ensures that my doctor sees me every month or so. I am a little curious how i will feel drug free, although this will probably be in a few months.

    What The Mirror Said

    I looked in the mirror and saw an older person with darker bags under my eyes and wrinkles etching themselves into the pores on my face.

    Thanks Iam and Shelley, the Natural Bridge is a beautiful spot that my children affectionately refer to as " the hundred acre woods". Our beaches, on the other hand, are probably our best natural asset.

    Thanks deer for the big hug. Yesterday I thought I'd check out an anxiety forum that had a chat room, after reading for a while and talking to a few people I realised that there is a big difference between anxiety and the next level that is PTSD. What I mean is reading how some people were...

    Music Therapy

    Prayers are always welcome Deer, i did an incredible amount of it in recent times, when things are totally out of control and you know no matter how informed, enlightened you may be, when it comes to a child needing a new heart as a parent, the helpless/powerless feeling is always in the...
